First heat-health alerts issued for 2025 while storms bring flood risk

On June 12, 2025, the UK Health Security Agency issued its initial yellow heat alert of the year, affecting London, the East of England, the South East, and East Midlands regions.
The alert was issued ahead of expected temperatures reaching up to 30°C from June 12 to 15, highlighting increased risks particularly for people aged over 65 and individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular health issues.
Households were advised to stay indoors from 11am to 3pm, keep homes cool by closing windows and curtains, and seek shade and sunscreen when outside.

The alert signals possible increased healthcare demand among vulnerable groups, while separate yellow thunderstorm warnings were issued across parts of England and Northern Ireland.
